The Hindu
As active COVID-19 cases in the State surged to 12,616, with the daily positivity rate climbing to over 5%, Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh on Wednesday urged the Centre to review its immunisation strategy to vaccinate all age groups in selected areas, while announcing a stricter policy to deal with the problem.
The Chief Minister also called for occupation-based immunisation for school and college students and teachers, judges, bus drivers and conductors, panch-sarpanch, mayors, counsellors, MLAS, MPs etc. to pave the way for normalisation of crucial activities and check “super-spreaders”. He advocated early opening of courts to end the citizens’ wait for justice, and also of schools and colleges to bridge the gap between poor and affluent families in terms of education.
